What do you mean by a reinstall of "Win Me system files"? I assume you mean
you reinstalled Win Me. How did you do this? If a clean install or a
reinstall using a manufacturer's Recovery CD you will have to reinstall your
applications. You say you cannot open some programs although "they are
obviously on the C:\ drive". Why are they "obviously on your C:\ drive"?
Have you checked that the programs are still there in your C:\Program Files
folder? Take Word for example, how are you trying to launch Word. What
exactly happens including all error messages you see?
